http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26657 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26657 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23811 Very comfortable rooms and service, special breakfast overlooking a canal reaching the Canal Grande.
Very close to St. Mark's square and Accademia.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23811 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21538 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21538 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21312
The rooms are immaculately clean and bright and spacious with simple furnishings. Some rooms have views of the Grand Canal..... the thrill of opening the shutters in the morning and seeing it all before you cannot be beaten.Rooms are available with en-suite or shared bathrooms, we opted for the latter and it was all perfectly fine.No queues or drama, perfectly nice bathroom with all the usual facilities. A lovely Italian breakfast is served in a room with views of the Grand Canal - so not much talking over breakfast but plenty of gawping!

Trust me, I have been to Venice before and places to stay that are as good as this, as centrally located and with such friendly & helpful hosts can be counted on the fingers of one hand. If flashy and fancy is your thing, then this isn't for you, but if you want to see and experience the friendlier side of Venice then do go and stay! Tell them Emma sent you!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21312 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18244
Cheap – in Venice that’s almost impossible, but this was very reasonable.

Cheerful – fabulous smile from the receptionist on arrival and every time we returned.

Cosy – ask for an attic room at the back so you can spy down into the locals' gardens below, and see the ocean liners berth in the distance. The breakfast room overlooks a local canal.

Clean – room was spotless and cleaned every day.

Convenient – 50 metres from Piazzale Roma bus station and car park, 250 metres from vaporetto number 1 stop, and 5 minutes from the railway station.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18244 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18116 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18116 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15506
The price is good (85 Euros for a single ensuite, 110 for a double) and the rooms, though small, are comfortable and spotless. Recommended for those on a budget who want a no-frills but pleasant place to stay in Venice.

I booked through www.venere.com but other agencies list the hotel as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15506 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11859
Accommodation in Venice is not cheap - and neither is this hotel - but the streets are litter free, public transport is brilliant, all goods have to be delivered by boat: if you consider these costs and the taxes that businesses must pay to cover them, then it is surely value for money. You can't expect to stay in a museum for nothing!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11859 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8079 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8079
